Hi Kate Bush devotees

I see this is a moderated group.  This means all articles must pass 
the inspection of the moderator.  Is this unusual in a music group?  
After all this is not a high powered technical discussion group sponsered 
by a corporate body where no one wants to be annoyed by postings that are 
clearly not in line with the group purposes (for example 
comp.os.network.netware.announcements).

Of course it works both ways. Mechanisms for stopping insulting threads have 
their virtues for all particpants.  However I would like to know if 
there are specific moderation protocols for the group.
